T-Shirt crafts are fun for all ages, even adults. You can do so much with t-shirts other than tie dye and decorating with paint or iron-ons. You can recycle them to make beautiful pillows, backpacks or totes, you can create a whole new blouse, hair clips, a skirt or even a pair of shorts and even a scarf. Next time you have to think twice before you throw out an old t-shirt.

T-Shirts, for so long just for wearing.
Sometimes for exercise, getting soaked from all of my sweating.
Other times emblazoned with funny quips sarcastic or brash.
